Things are just as hard as they seem
Things are just as hard as they seem
The genie won't go back in the whiskey flask,
All your wishes went up in steam
Things are just as hard as they seem

Things are just as hard as they seem
Things are just as hard as they seem
Your fairy godmother said, "You're on your own, brother.  
It's too big a mess to clean."
Things are just as hard as they seem

But don't you walk around with your face all looking sad
Whistle a tune when you're feeling blue
This too shall pass...

Things are just as hard as they seem
Things are just as hard as they seem
Tinkerbell ain't gonna wake you up
And tell you it was all just a dream
Things are just as hard as they seem
